DGCA asks flight operators to closely monitor security situation in West Asia

In view of the evolving situation in West Asia, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has asked flight operators to closely monitor the security situation in the region. In its advisory, the DGCA has asked all operators to strictly adhere to international airspace advisories after several West Asian countries have imposed restrictions or temporary closures of their skies following military developments.

The DGCA advised the carriers to refrain from operating within the affected airspaces at all flight levels and altitudes. It also asked them to closely monitor all updated Aeronautical Information Publications (AIPs) and NOTAMs issued by the affected countries and national authorities. The DGCA informed that the advisory is effective immediately and remains valid till Monday unless reviewed or superseded by further developments.
